Details

nsIDocShell has methods for loading a URI, but lacks methods to determine the success state of that action.

For example, a js function loading a web page in a <browser> has no way of knowing if the page load was successful or if a DNS or other error prevented it from happening.

We need a way for application authors and embedders to handle docshell errors themselves (instead of being forced to use either the XUL error pages or the alert boxes that we currently provide).
